Vienna Game, Falkbeer Defence
[edit | edit source]The position is imbalanced; Black is ahead by a pawn but behind in development. In searching for his next move he may choose two radically different developments: with
an apparently strength-cementing move, he enters into an extremely tactical opening, the so-called Frankenstein-Dracula variation, leading to a forced exchange sacrifice and a highly sharp position. On the contrary, with
he opts for a quiet continuation.
